IMPORTANT
1. DSC functions will not operate on the RS90 until your MMSI has
been entered.
2. The radio channels installed into this Simrad VHF radio may
vary from country to country depending upon the model and
government or national communications authority regulations.
3. Navico recommends that you check the radio operating licensing
requirements of your country before using this Simrad VHF radio.
The operator is solely responsible for observing proper radio
installation and usage practices.
4. A DSC warning label is supplied with this Simrad VHF radio. To
comply with FCC regulations, this label must be affixed in a location
that is clearly visible from the operating controls of this radio. Make
sure that the chosen location is clean and dry before applying this
label.
5. This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress call to
facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this
radio must be used only within the geographic range of a shorebased VHF marine Channel 70 distress and safety watch system.
The geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is
approximately 20 nautical miles.
MMSI and license information
You must obtain a user Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)
and enter it into your RS90 radio in order to use the DSC functions.
Similarly for the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS)
MMSI. Contact the appropriate authorities in your country. If you are
unsure who to contact, consult your Simrad dealer.
The user MMSI is a unique nine digit number, similar to a personal
telephone number. It is used on marine transceivers that are
capable of using DSC (Digital Select Calling).
Depending upon your location, you may need a radio station
license for the RS90 You may also need an individual operator’s
license.

Industry Canada statement
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the devise.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pa produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de
l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si
le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et
d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir
le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à
l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.

System Overview
Introduction
The Simrad RS90 VHF radio is a comprehensive solution for marine
VHF radio applications.
The radio comprises:
• RS90 VHF transceiver
• One wired handset as standard, and optionally up to 3 more
wired handsets. (Maximum of 4 wired handsets in total)
• One external speaker, and optionally up to 3 more external
speakers
• Up to 2 optional wireless handsets

Installation
Positioning
Transceiver
Make sure that the position of the transceiver:
• Is at least 1 m (39 inches) from the VHF antenna.
• Allows easy connection to the 12 VDC electrical source, the antenna,
and the NMEA 2000 connection.
• Is at least 45 cm (18 inches) from any magnetic compass to avoid
magnetic deviation of the compass during radio operation.
• Provides suitable space for installing the wired handset cradle(s)
nearby. (A 20 m extension cable is available as an optional extra.)
• Provides reasonable access to the wiring via the top panel.
The transceiver can be positioned vertically on a bulkhead or
horizontally. Avoid positions that might get wet or hot, such as in
the engine compartment or close to the bilge.
Ideally, the transceiver is positioned vertically with the wiring glands
facing downwards in order to prevent the ingress of water.
DSC warning label
The DSC warning label should be positioned close to the wired
handset.
Installing the transceiver
1. Hold the transceiver at the chosen location and mark the 4 hole
positions onto the mounting surface.
2. Drill the 4 holes where marked (maximum diameter 3.5 mm).
3. Attach the transceiver using screws or pan head machine screws.

Transceiver external connectors
VHF antenna
A suitable radio antenna (not supplied) must be mounted and
connected with a PL295 connector before you can operate the
radio. Consult your Simrad dealer for advice, if necessary.
Always mount the VHF antenna as high as possible and at least 1 m
(39 inches) from the transceiver.
NMEA 2000 (N2K) connector
The RS90 radio can be connected to an NMEA 2000 network using
a cable (not supplied). For further information, see “NMEA 2000
Network” on page 26.
Transceiver internal connectors
To access the internal connectors, remove the cover plate by
unscrewing the captive screws. The connectors are on the internal
circuit board, which is located as shown below.

Important: Do not short circuit these 2 connectors.
Install the hailer speaker in a forward-facing location on the boat.
This is because, in addition to transmitting foghorn sounds, the
hailer speaker ‘listens back’ when not transmitting.
¼¼ Note: Use a 4-8 ohm speaker or loud hailer horn rated at no less
than 30 W. Higher impedance will reduce audio output volume.
